Just wondering what you guys thought about a battle damaged Jango bucket. ??
This is my first atempt at doing anything creative with painting so I am not expecting miracles but something that would look good just for display using the Boba weathering for reference.

The antenna is my first test piece and I am quite pleased with it so far.
For the silver it's Plasti-Kote Metallic, the blue's Halfords (all spray cans) and the Susan Scheewe blue masking fluid.
I am going to use silver rub 'n buff for the main colour and hopefully the Metallic damage will be noticable against each other (if that make's sense).

I have started masking the bucket so will hopefully have some progress shots up later tonight......

Edit... Right I have masking finished and applied the liquid mask.
When dry I will remove some of the fluid I'm not happy with and start to paint tomorrow.

I have done the dark blue layer and will be leaving it to dry for a few more days before remasking/liquid masking for the lighter blue.
The blue masking tape left behind residue (supposed to be able to leave it on for 14 days without any...) but that's ok as the majority of silver will be r 'n b.

The only thing that's wet was the latex so my guitar was safe but thanks for the concern

paint a bucket in complete Boba colours and exact weathering... then... where Boba's silver scratches are you make Jango's colours and symbols... so you can see the pin stripes for example back in Boba's silver scratches... am I making sense here??

keep going on this!! I recommend some washes and misting layers

er... I thought that Boba got his own armour, he left Jango (and armour) where he fell, as instructed.

Thanks everyone for the comments. I haven't done anything with it for a bit because I'm having major work done to the house but before I go to bed tonight I am going to start masking it up again for more painting tomorrow.
Hopefully have some pics up in a day or two.

My Jango costume is covered from head to foot in dust because the workmen turned up a bit unexpected and started to knock my bathroom down (they were meant to build another downstairs first) so I haven't had a bathroom for 2 week. It becomes annoying having to scrounge showers off the neighbours.

Well I only have the silver left to do now after repainting all the dark blue. Due to work going on in the house I have not had my mind on it but will finish it soon.
Thought people weren't interested as the only response I got from the last update was from yourself.

Yes I have heard that story as well. Sort of cool actually. I would think Boba would keep his fathers armor and helmet for sentimental value. Sort of sucks that he had to spoon out his dads head to use the helmet.

I think Boba mentions a memory of Jango in every one of those books. I wasn't going to read them, but considering I read the Clone Wars novels just for mention of the clones.... well, just call me Fett Obsessed...

And since this is a thread about helmets... I am getting worried about starting my own costume. I had no idea what I was getting into.. who knew Mandalorians were so into accessories.
